Hirsute has an updated grub2 which improves networking performance
during provisioning.

See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/2.04-1ubuntu37

The file that maas streams use from
https://images.maas.io/ephemeral-v3/stable/bootloaders/uefi/amd64/20201123.0/grub2-signed.tar.xz
is this one
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hirsute/main/uefi/grub2-amd64/2.04-1ubuntu37/grubnetx64.efi.signed

I would be interested to know if above improves provisioning
reliability, and/or speed.

This should improve TCP deployments.

But there are more things we can do. Specifically there are patches
available, but not yet integrated, that should allow to have HTTP and
HTTPS provisioning be done with firmware accelerated code, i.e. reusing
leases from UEFI firmware and using UEFI firmware paths for HTTP/HTTPS
networking, without using the grub network stack per-se.
